Apple iPhone 5 review: Laws of attraction - read the full textThe iPhone 5. As in five million units sold over the course of a … weekend. Can't say no to that. This is the latest installment in the smartphone series that changed the mobile phone industry and we can understand people couldn't wait. Now, what is it they couldn't wait for?

I want a phone that easily fits in the pocket, not a tablet. I have a tablet, my phone is separate from that.

As always, a great review by GSMArena, fair and clear showing both pros and cons, while also having a good writing style... Anyway, I still think that the best review GSMArena has done so far is Nokia 808's review.

I would like to commend GSMarena for a very objective, unbiased review of the iPhone 5. Your integrity is the main reason why I am not leaving your site. Excellent job!!!

not a total disaster. but i wont buy it. id wait for lumia 920. it's like this, i love the camera, but i think the lumia 920's cam is way better. i love the screen, especially it's movie friendly aspect ratio, but i'd rather have the bigger screen with higher ppi of the 920. and the supersensitive touch is also a plus. the design, oh yes, i love the black and slate ip5 but the yellow 920 will make the iphone 5 look laid back.
i think the iphone 5 is great if ur upgrading from 4s, but i won't move to the ios fam for this....
first choice: wp8second choice: ios
third: android.
:Dmaybe i'd buy my girl an iphone 5 for christmas, but not for me.
i don't buy a phone because of it's name... i buy phone that would suit my needs.
i say that cause apple consumers will buy the iphone 5 simply because.... it's the latest iphone!

this is easily the best iPhone 5 review on the net. Kudos GSMArena for great work.

Objective, concise and to the point with vision what future can bring. Compared to engadget review, one really see what a proper journalism can be.

Keep up the good work, looking forward to Lumia920 which might truly become a 'new iPhone' - despite speaking from an android hacker perspective...

Finally an objective review. Had to chuckle at "mono video recording"... what's the point in 1080p when you're still stuck with MONO? Oh well. Apple.

For example if the phone is fast he doesnt care what architect the processor is or the screen tech apple is using but they do see what the screen be used in different ways like the frame rate and using a glove to navigate. Like L920. Its time everyone switch to lumia.

i see it a political review.

gsmarena says it is not innovative but with low polite sound (gsmarena didn't mension any thing about benchmarks and if it comes later with update it will be vs midrange phones it will never mention xiaomi mi 2 ,nor lg optimus G ).
